Testing1. Clear the area around the unit, and warn others to stay away from the unit. Remove any loose wires, lumber, or other materials which might get in the way of the unit as it raises or lowers.2. Operate the unit through its full range of travel. The unit should rise smoothly with a quiet humming sound, and lower smoothly and quietly. Raise and lower the unit a few times to check the clearances around the tilt platform.

WARNING!As the tilt platform moves up and down, “pinch points” are created at the places shown in Fig. 2. If you are standing too close to the unit when it is moving, your arm or leg may be caught in the moving parts, and you may be hurt. Stay away from the pinch points when the unit is moving.

3. If the unit is lowering too quickly or too slowly, you can change the “down speed” by adjusting the flow control.If you want the tilt platform to lower more slowly, turn the control clockwise up to 1/4 turn at a time. If you want the tilt platform to lower more quickly, turn the control counterclockwise up to 1/4 turn. Don’t move the control more than 1/4 turn at a time.

Fig. 2. Pinch Points

4. Test the unit with the rated load. If the unit does not rise, and you hear a loud squealing noise, the pressure relief valve is operating. Contact Presto for instructions.

WARNING!Don’t continue to use the unit if this hap-pens – the pump will overheat very quickly, and may be permanently damaged. Do not try to adjust the relief valve. If you change the setting on the relief valve, you may overwork the unit. This can cause the unit to fail suddenly, and you may be hurt.

5. Clean up any spilled hydraulic fluid. Spilled hydraulic oil is slippery, and may present a fire hazard. If you clean up any spilled fluid, you will be able to tell right away if the unit begins to leak.5. Figure 3 shows the safety labels on this unit. Check to be sure all of the labels are in place.

Maintenance andTroubleshootingAll servicing should be done by qualified personnel. Qualified personnel should be able to read and under-stand wiring and hydraulic diagrams. They should be able to troubleshoot live electrical circuits safely and in accordance with accepted practice. For safety’s sake, if in doubt, please contact your dealer or Presto Lifts Customer Service Department at (800) 343-9322.

Before servicing the unit, please read and understand all of this section and the section entitled “Operating Instructions.”

HazardsThere are several hazards you should be aware of as you service the unit:

DANGER!• The unit uses a power supply of 115 Volts AC. This voltage can kill you. Do not work on the electrical parts unless you are a qualified electrician!

WARNINGS!• As the unit moves up and down, “pinch points” are formed as shown in Fig. 2. Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from these pinch points. If your hand or arm or a part of your clothing is caught, you may be hurt.• Before performing any maintenance on the unit, lower the tilt platform completely. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.• The relief valve has been included for the protection of all of the workers who use the unit. Don’t change the relief setting! If the relief valve does not open when it should, the unit may fail. Someone may be hurt, and the unit and load may be damaged.• If the hydraulic fluid is released under high pressure, it can cause personal injury. Before you open any part of the hydraulic system, be sure to release the hydraulic pressure. You can do this by lowering the tilt platform all the way down.

• The warning labels have been included for the safety of the operator. If the labels are worn or missing, or have been painted over, replace them before releasing the lift for operation. Fig. 3 shows the safety markings on this unit.

Routine Periodic MaintenanceEvery month:Visually inspect the pins and bushings at each end of the cylinder(s) for signs of wear. Also check the pivot pins at both sides of the tilt platform. If any of these parts are worn, contact Presto for repair instructions.• Apply oil or WD-40 to the parts listed in the last step.Note: Although the busings are “lifetime lubricated” Teflon® bushings, their performance may be ex-tended by additional periodic lubrication.• Check the level and appearance of the hydraulic fluid. in order to check the level, lower the unit completely and unplug the power cord. Remove the rear cover on the unit. Lower the platform. Remove the red plastic vent plug on top of the hydraulic tank, and use a dipstick to check the oil level. When the platform is fully lowered, the oil should be about 1/2 to 3/4 inches below the top of the tank. Add oil if necessary. Change the oil if it has darkened, or feels gritty or sticky.

CAUTION!It is important to use hydraulic fluid with the correct grade and properties. See the hydraulic oil specification in Fig. 17 of this manual.

Every six months or 500 hours ofoperation, whichever comes first:• Check all of the hydraulic fittings and hoses, and tighten the connections if necessary. Sometimes the fittings can be worked loose by the vibrations from the power unit.

WARNING!If a hydraulic fitting becomes loose, or if a hydraulic hose breaks, the hydraulic fluid may escape from the system under pres-sure. If the tilt platform is raised when this happens, it can drop quickly. Someone may be hurt, or the unit or load may be damaged. To avoid this problem, inspect all of the hydraulic hoses and fittings regularly, and replace them if they are worn or damaged.

• The clear plastic vent line(s) and the cylinder rod(s) should be free of hydraulic fluid. If you find much fluid in either place, the cylinder seals may be leaking. (It is also possible the tank may be overfilled.) If the worn parts must be replaced, see the section on “Repacking the Cylinder(s).”• Disassemble the down valve as shown in Fig. 9. Blow the valve plunger clean with compressed air. Reas-semble the valve and reinstall it.• Drain and discard the hydraulic fluid. The suction filter is in the tank, at the point where the suction line runs out to the pump. Unscrew the hydraulic line, then remove the filter. Blow the filter clean with compressed air. Reinstall the filter in the tank and reassemble the hydraulic line.• Refill the tank with new hydraulic fluid.

CAUTION!If you continue to use fluid after it has “worn out,” the moving parts in the system will wear more quickly.

• Be sure all of the warning labels are in position and legible. The warning labels are intended to protect your workers. If the labels are missing, or if they have been painted over, replace them.

Repacking the CylinderThe lift in the SRT unit may use several different types of cylinders. To order a repacking kit and to receive instructions, please call the Presto Parts Department at (800) 343-9322. When ordering, specify the model number and serial number of the unit.

Table 1 – Hydraulic Oil Specifications

If the lift will be used at normal ambient temperatures, Presto Lifts supplies the unit with Conoco Super Hydraulic 32 oil. This may be replaced by any other good quality oil with 150 SSU at 100° F and rust and oxidation inhibitors and anti-wear properties.

If the lift will be used at ambient temperatures below 0°F, use aircraft hydraulic oil. Use Type 15 aircraft hydraulic oil.

The following are equivalent to CONOCO SUPER HYDRAULIC 32:

TYPE MANUFACTURER

DTE 24 ............................. EXXON/MOBILNUTO H32 ........................ EXXON/MOBILAMOCO AW32 .................. CHEVRON (AMOCO CO.)AW32 ................................. CITGO

CAUTION! It is very important to keep the hydraulic oil free of dirt, dust, metal chips, water, and other contamination. Most of the problems with hydraulic systems are caused by contamination in the oil.
